FELA/Railroad Litigation
Webster Szanyi attorneys have a wealth of experience representing shortline and mainline railroads and railcar owners in a variety of settings in State and Federal Courts. We comprehend the intricacies of railway legislation and have successfully defended all types of personal injury matters including FELA claims for traumatic and repetitive stress injuries, asbestos and other toxic exposure claims, premises liability claims, crossing accidents and trespasser claims. We have also assisted our clients in developing procedures for addressing potential claims from the moment an incident occurs.
It is no secret that personal injury defense litigation in the railroad industry is a tough area, particularly under the FELA. Our experience and dedication to our clients’ needs have enabled us to obtain excellent results working with our railroad industry clients in what is often difficult and contentious litigation. The relationships we have formed in this area are a reflection of this dedication and our results. Webster Szanyi attorneys are fluent in the language of the railroad and get down to the facts. We can also translate railroad terminology and clearly communicate the facts to a jury at the time of a trial.
At Webster Szanyi, we take the same proactive approach to defending railroad industry clients that we follow with all our litigation clients. We never lose sight of the fact that each case is unique. And, with this in mind, we develop strategies to bring about the best results possible for each case in an efficient and cost-effective manner.
You gain the advantage with our track record and in-depth knowledge of railroad business operations and the unique issues they face under the FELA and other Federal statutes and regulations.
